Hi, I have a couple of questions to ask. Please get back to us ASAP. 1. What configurations should be given for kafka metrics when there is no traffic for 5 minutes under Dynatrace’s Anomaly detection? 2. Is “Create Rule” functionality available for setting up the Alert in Dynatrace? ---

Hi [@Pulkit](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/58932), I hope it helps. 1. This settings for missing data from a chosen metric / metrics. ![Mizs_0-1674561736528.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/8/2/8277e87eb6087429060105bb63db3765ff515bc1.png) 2. Under Anomaly detection you can create “rules” for alerting. You can find some alerting profile creation information in my pervious post: [Solved: Re: SLO alerting - Dynatrace Community](https://community.dynatrace.com/post/198732#M23336) Best regards, Mizső
